Question

请问懂英语的进来，为什么答案选择C不是D？

The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable especially if they are your guests. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or shocked , but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.
问：The author of this article may agree with which of the following？
A．The guest who ate his peas with a knife．
B．The other guests who were amused or shocked．
C．The host who picked up his knife and began eating in the same way．
D．None of the above．
我个人翻译是：当食物上来，一些客人开始用刀吃肉，另一些客人愉快或震惊的，但是主人平静地拿起刀和用同样方式吃。不礼貌使他的客人感到愚蠢和不舒服。客人和主人好像没什么联系。。。

Answer 1

本题选C是对的，作者在写出but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way这句话之后，明确了他的观点：It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.
也就是说，主人请客时，其中一个客人使用刀吃豌豆（很明显是不太合适的餐具），引起其他客人侧目，这个时候使用刀的客人会看到其他人的眼光而感到难堪，主人比较淡定地也拿起刀来吃豌豆，会使用刀的客人感到安慰。

高，这样我就明白了。

Answer 2

首先最后一句的it不是代指前面主人的行为而是最后一句的形式主语。其次最后一句的翻译是“让客人感到愚蠢或不舒服是不礼貌的”。故选择C

追问

A,B没没说错啊？

追答

题主你要知道这是应试教育你需要做的是选择最合适的答案，文章的重点在主人上。而B与问题无关直接排除。

Answer 3

大体翻译：关于社会习俗(社交习惯)要记住的一件重要事情是,不做任何可能让别人感觉不舒服的行为，尤其是对你的客人。当食物上桌时,其中一位客人开始用刀子吃豌豆，其他客人被逗笑或被震惊,但主人却平静地拿起他的餐刀,开始以同样的方式吃豌豆。假如主人也像其他客人那样没有礼貌，会让他那位客人感到愚蠢或难堪。
